The name for BAY STREET originated in 1797 from the fact that it connected (then) Lot Street (now Queen Street West) to a bay in Toronto Harbour.

The intersection of Bay and King Street is often seen as the centre of Canadian banking and finance because four of Canada's five major banks have office towers at the intersection. The elite of legal corporations are here too. The boom of the 1990s drew many who work in the neighborhood, including investors, to live in a vast choice of condominium homes to avoid the daily commute. Rental suites are highly in demand!

The north end of BAY STREET leads to Yorkville at Bloor - Toronto’s Fifth Avenue shopping district!

Quiet residential streets of gracious Victorian homes survived the hippie era of the sixties flophouses to see their values escalate rapidly with the advent of the Bloor subway. The Toronto International Film Festival is anchored in Yorkville as just one major attraction annually to this elegant neighborhood.
